Litestar Queues
Litestar Queues lets a Litestar application persist work, run it in a worker, and inspect the result. Use it for work that should outlive the request that started it: sending email, importing files, refreshing reports, or calling a slow service.
Quickstart
Install the package:
pip install litestar-queues
Create app.py:
from litestar import Litestar, post
from litestar.di import NamedDependency
from litestar_queues import QueueConfig, QueuePlugin, QueueService, task
@task("accounts.sync", queue="accounts", timeout=30)
async def sync_account(account_id: str) -> dict[str, str]:
return {"account_id": account_id, "status": "synced"}
@post("/accounts/{account_id:str}/sync")
async def create_sync_job(
account_id: str,
queue_service: NamedDependency[QueueService],
) -> dict[str, str]:
result = await queue_service.enqueue(sync_account, account_id)
return {"task_id": str(result.id), "status": result.status or "pending"}
app = Litestar(
route_handlers=[create_sync_job],
plugins=[QueuePlugin(config=QueueConfig())],
)
Run the application:
LITESTAR_APP=app:app litestar run --reload
Enqueue a task:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/acct-123/sync
The response contains a task ID and an initial status. The default in-memory queue and in-app worker are ideal for this first run.
Production boundary
Choose where tasks are stored separately from where they run. The default memory backend stores tasks in one Python process. If the web app and worker run in separate processes, use a shared backend such as SQLSpec, Advanced Alchemy, Redis, or Valkey. Use standalone workers when the web app and task workers must scale separately. Cloud Run runs tasks; it does not store them.
